We are different from all other humans in history

Take the time to read this one. So much we all need to know and also beautiful words from a graduation speech given in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson at the University of Michigan.

Here is one person’s real story about being declared dead by Social Security. The person happens to be Lois Lowry, beloved children’s book author. She was able to get it resolved but she had a lot of help. Help that others might not have.

It’s rare that a court opinion draws national attention, and even rarer when one does so with such eloquence and conviction. Yet that is what happened yesterday with Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson’s opinion in the Abrego García matter. I break it down, and lift it up, in today’s piece, linked below.
